Biography
Greg Dunstone has more than forty years experience as a specialist engineer on radar and air traffic control systems with Airservices Australia. He leads the development of surveillance strategy inAustralia including ADS-B, radar, surface movement radar, wide area multilateration and Precision Runway Monitoring. He is chairman of ICAO’s Asia Pacific ADS-B Task Force and the Australian Strategic Planning Group’s Surveillance Technology Working group (STWG). In 2011 he was awarded the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Lawrence Hardgrave Award for his leadership of the Australian ADS-B Program, and also the Royal Aeronautical Society’s 2011 Silver Specialist award.
Abstract
The talk will give both a historical and technical background on the ADS-B program inAustralia and its relevance in Asia Pacific. There are some features that make the Australian program different from theUSA notably the timing and the choice of a simpler variant that will allow more than a decade of full operational use before theUS program, whilst at the same time co-ordinated and consistent with the programs in Europe andUSA. The near and medium term CASA mandates require all IFR aircraft to be equipped with ADS-B in the next few years.
